brian, that information was posted -- by me -- three days ago. notice also
that US flagged vessels must be "under the command of" a US citizen (the box
of
rocks stupid jeffie's singular exception for recreational vessels put in
charter service).


You really have a reading problem jaxie, the exception is for ALL recreational

non-citizen relatives are another.
